 Cadimino.  Technically a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham built  (altered) by a coach builder house; let you know which when I see the placard.

Could pull a Challenger but too expensive to be one.

White wall tires and a flamethrower kit. Also, you should drop a 400 big block in it, or maybe a 502...

It should be a 307 olds, which i think is the same exterior dimensions as a 455.

In addition to Patrick :

A Cadillac 472/500 will bolt up to the trans and I believe there's OEM motor mounts that'll bolt up. I think you'll need 425 Cadillac manifolds to clear the A arms.  If you go this route I think I have the manifolds in my stash and I'll donate them.

Need a 425/368 deville oil pan too.  My 78 deville is probably the only one i want back.

Run that 307 until it dies, it won't, not enough power to kill its self.  I have replaced many a 3.8 or 307 with a 455 it is a direct bolt up as long as you have the hood clearance.  Other BOP engines will bolt up but sticking with an olds is the easy button.

Nice truck.

500 cubes should be the minimum when this gets engine swapped.

This clearly needs to roll coal.  A nice diesel would be a good option for a car with available big block weight front suspension components.

Well it's home, LOVE driving in NJ.  The bustle thing is coming off, probably make a removable gate.  No updates for a while as my garage is full of airplane through January.

BTW:  SWMBO really likes it!
